Just receive these in advance of the projector to allow time to come to terms
with things. However, I seem to be stumped by the first hurdle, connecting
the bits and have a couple of questions...

Firstly, is it best to connect the 5 little speakers to its sub or directly
to the Denon - @ the mo' I'm thinking the former but don't know why? Secodly, the Denon manual describes how to connect both the component video
output and alternatively the ordinary video output from a DVD (Toshiba
SD510E) to the Denon, however, I don't see how to connect the DVD's 5.1 audio
output to the amp.

Feeling a bit of a plonka, nothing new, so any guidance would be very welcome.

i have the tosh 510 connected to my denon 2802 via the component in for the picture which i send component out to my projector, you connect the audio via optical in or coax in you just assign the amp to which cable you use, i use the coax in for the dvd & i connect my ps2 into an svid in and connect the audio via the digital in and the amp switche the signal well

FS2AV to AMP: Make sure you connect your 5 FS2 speakers to the subwoofer, then from subwoofer to the amp - otherwise no bass will come out of the FS2s.

To get the optimal bass performance from your FS2AV, on your amp's bass management, make sure you select ALL speakers to 'Large' and also select 'Main Speakers & LFE'. If your amp has the option, select '120hz' as the subwoofer cross-over.

DVD-Player to AMP: Simply get either an Digital Optical cable or a Digital Coaxial cable and connect the cable FROM the back of your dvd-player TO the back of the amp.

Thanks MartinCo, tk2001 and chic for your swift responses; in light of which the manuals seem less fuzzy. Although they do indicate a mismatch, probably the wrong term, between the audio 5.1 connections, 6 output from the DVD and 8 inputs on the amp, I wasn't sure about which 2 of the last 4 amp input to select. (Worried that messing up might result in a puff of smoke.) I'll be off to get a optical/coax cable, not even I can mess up a 1:1 connection. ;-)
